“Aquatic Adventure is short and the art is minimalist (but holy-cow-gorgeous), and yet it’s one of the best Metroidvania experiences I’ve ever had.”

– James Davenport (PC Gamer)

Face Enormous Sea Creatures & Uncover the Truth About Mankind’s Last Days in The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human

GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Jan. 19, 2016 — The wait is over. The intricately designed, hauntingly beautiful underwater world of YCJY Games’ The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human can now be experienced by gamers worldwide — on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Those willing to revisit Earth as the last human alive can do so for only $8.49 for a limited time.

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human portrays the end of civilization as we know it. In the distant future — and as a result of climate change and a weakening sun — humans are forced to live underwater in order to survive. The heat from the planet’s inner crust may have kept the deepest cities alive — but as resources began to dwindle in 2971, it was decided that humanity’s only chance of survival would be to send subaquatic spaceships to a nearby wormhole to look for habitable planets. However, things did not go as planned. When one of the ships (Argo9) returns hundreds of thousands of years later, it becomes clear that humans are now extinct.

What happened while the Argo9 was away is a mystery solved only through the faint memories of humanity’s last automated machines, which endured thanks to a central power line. No one is left to tell the story of mankind’s last days. Without records or witnesses, the player must uncover and find answers.

A World Overrun by Enormous Sea Creatures

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human puts players in control of the long lost spaceship/submarine hybrid, Argo9 — which traverses the ancient ruins of human civilization at its technological, melancholy-infused peak.

The game challenges players to explore every nook and cranny in search of hidden passages and essential ship upgrades (such as boosters, extra armor, and weapons), while facing terrifying sea creatures and 10 intense boss fights that are a sight to behold.

Let curiosity be your guide on the inevitable voyage of extinction in The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human!
